Is there a way to apply a function, say cor(), to each combination of some number of variables, and this, without using loops? For example, I have day, hour, var1 and var2. How could I compute cor(var1,var2) for each day*hour combination and obtain a matrix with day, hour and the cor value for each combination?

Howdee, My question appears at #6 below: 1. I want to model the growth of each of a large number of individuals using a 4-parameter logistic growth curve. 2. nlme does not converge with the random structure that I want to use. 3. nlsList does not converge for some individuals. 4. I decided to go around nlsList using: t(sapply(split(data, list(data$id)), function(subd){coef(nls(mass ~

Howdee, *** I know that the lmList() function exists, yet I don't want to use it. *** Would anyone be kind enough to tell how I can apply the function lm() to each level of a given factor so to obtain the intercept and slope for each factor level within a matrix? For instance, suppose a dataframe containing 3 variables: id, x and y. I want to compute the function lm() for each level

How do one dertermine the optimal number of rescaling cycles to use when performing DCA using the decorana function (library vegan)?

Howdee, I am able to fit a 4-parameter logistic growth curve to a dataset which comprise many individuals (using R v. 2.3.1). Yet, if I want to obtain the parameters for each individual (i.e., for each 'id') using nlsList, then I obtain an Error message which I have trouble interpreting. Any advice as to how I can solve this problem? Thanks for your time, Marc > reg <-nls(mass ~

Hi there, I have 3 numeric variables: day (e.g., 05), month (e.g., 06), year (e.g., 2009). I would like to create a (string) variable of the following form: month/day/year (e.g., 06/05/2009). I would be grateful to anyone who could point me toward a solution. Sincerely, Marc =================== Marc B?lisle Professeur agr?g?

Stephen, all, Thank u very much for your answer and i wish you an happy thanksgiving. Currently we tried to migrate our base on RAW devices already using e41smp, SecurePath (HP) 3C and Qlogic 7.00. The average response time of our sql request on ia32 is 0.32Sec very regularly. On our Itanium on OCFS that's very randomly between 1 and 15Sec, and on RAW between <1s and 3 sec. David is an

Hi all, I curently have a big problem. One request (listed above) using context take up to 1000 more time than the on RAW or ext2 database. I have ran this request on a single IA32 machine with Redhat and dbf on ext2. The average reponse time is less than a sec. The same request on RAC 4 nodes cluster on RAW take the same average time. On ext2 idem. But on OCFS it took up to 15 sec randomly
